About This Home
As of December 2022Fondly referred to as "Le Refuge". Subtle opulence defines this majestic colonial poised hillside on the Bernardsville Mountain. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, the landscape resembles that of a nature preserve with custom lighting, stone patios, blooming gardens, outdoor fireplaces and a trickling waterfall. The house itself is characterized by solid masonry and elaborate stone detail. Distinctive features include a slate roof, sizable rooms, beamed ceilings, hardwood and radiant stone floors. A private primary suite exudes warmth and intimacy with a resort style bathroom and wood burning fireplace. Wrought with architectural detail, the second story living quarters is completed by three additional bedrooms, two additional recently renovated full baths, and a large laundry room. The recently finished basement incorporates a media room, a game room, a lounge area, and lots of extra storage space. Countryside estate living just minutes from excellent schools, NJ transit, upscale shops, and fine dining.
